For quick reference, the highlights of the best installation practices are highlighted below:
1. Make sure that the sealing surfaces are clean, dry and free of grease.
- Check the quality of flange and gasket, ensure to remove any dust and grime.
- Line up the flange pipes.
- Leave a space between two flanges for placing gasket.
2. Position the gasket so that it is centered on the flange.
- Slide the gasket into the gap between flanges, place all bolts, and fit its position with a rubber bend.
- The gasket should be aligned and centered between the raised face.
3. Lubricate the cable ties. Be sure to lubricate bolts, nuts and washers of all bearing surfaces.
4. Assemble bolts, washers and nuts on the flange. Tightening bolts follow one direction and as below position. Preferably using a torque wrench for required torque. (Tightening torque vary for different type of bolt and rut used).
